Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 64 There is a Difacao in Bingzhou, who can be promoted and promoted
The intertwined roots of the family are reflected in all aspects.

Based on his achievements in Liangzhou, when Li Yan entered the imperial city, he met acquaintances and friends everywhere.

Those who have no family background...

Well, it seems that I can't be an official.

Li Yan calmed down, smiled and said: "I admire Pei Shilang very much, can I pay my respects?"

Ling Shi's face showed apology: "My bureaucracy is busy with everything, and all the upper officials are too busy..."

Li Yandao: "I'm taking the liberty, I'll pay a visit another day."

Based on his relationship with Pei Sijian, he would indeed go to Pei's mansion to visit.

Ling Shi also knew very well that the young man in front of him was definitely not something that an idle officer could see, and he smiled brightly: "Lieutenant Li, please serve the green!"

This sentence sounds strange, but it is no small honor among officials.

Officials of the third rank and above wear purple, the fourth and fifth ranks wear scarlet, the sixth and seventh ranks wear green, and the eighth and ninth ranks wear green.

Being an official is a very difficult thing. Most officials are stuck in the eighth and ninth ranks all their lives. Among them, there are even Jinshi, who are all small officials in the local area and cannot be promoted.

So serving green is really an honor.

Although she was dressed in green, later generations would not accept it.

Fortunately, the hat is black and has exquisite ornaments.

For example, belt ornaments are also related to grades, which are divided into jade, gold, silver, and 鍮 (tōu) stone (brass) from high to low.

Li Yan's original jewelry was a sapphire stone, but now it is made of silver.

Moreover, Li Yan is also a military officer, not only has a court uniform, but also a general's military robe, which is decorated with patterns of ferocious beasts.

This dress looks better, but it's a pity that it's not as clear as the green dress.

"For achievement points, I worked hard..."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment, then put on the green suit, a belt and a hat, no one liked it.

Ling Shi praised: "Lieutenant Li is really handsome!"

Li Yan thought to himself that if he hadn't come back handsome, it would be strange to be with officials like you who came from the beauty pageant!

And this is just work clothes, followed by salary, military equipment, strength classes, miscellaneous and so on.

Some are easy to handle, such as salary, which is stipulated for each level.

There were many wage items in the Tang Dynasty, but the main ones were salary, Lumi, and land.

During the Zhenguan period, officials of the sixth grade (Beijing officials) were assigned 400 acres of land a year, with a salary of nearly 30 guan, and 90 shi of Lumi. Converted into the RMB of later generations, the annual income is about 20.

There is not much change now, and it is also the basic salary.

To be honest, it is not high, and it is not difficult to support one person, but whoever is an official has a lot of servants, and it is impossible to support a large family.

Of course, everyone knows about the income of officials.

After a period of hard life, Li Yan paid more attention to money, and didn't worry about his own income, let alone other people.

And other benefits are more of a test of connections, such as strength classes.

Adult males in the Tang Dynasty were required to perform hard labor, that is, to work for the government for free.

Going to the official's house to see the nursing home, standing guard and guarding the sentry, and when the officials go out, they call out and serve as guards, all of which are part of the content of hard labor.

If these men who are supposed to serve in the military are unable to escape due to family affairs, they can pay money to be exempted from military service. This money is called "Li Ke".

The income of the strength class is often quite a lot, which is equivalent to the value of Lumi. For example, the service force of a sixth-rank official is 200 people, and each person pays 3 Wen per month. The salary is even higher.

But sometimes it can’t be collected, there is really something wrong with it, it is a very flexible income.

Li Yan was not too fond of Li Ke, and it was uncomfortable for him to use the common people's money divided into thirty-seven.

The two sides exchanged names, chatted and chatted, and after going through the basic procedures, Li Yan saluted and said, "Thank you Lu Lingshi."

Lu Lingshi hurriedly returned the salute: "This is what a subordinate official should do. Li Xiaowei is broken."

Li Yan tentatively said, "I have one more request here."

Lu Lingshi smiled and said, "Please speak! Please speak!"

Li Yan didn't meander: "Lu Lingshi should know that I am in the position of internal guard Wude, but I don't have any capable people under my command. The official department gathers talents from all over the world. Can you provide some reference?"

Lu Lingshi's face changed slightly: "This..."

Li Yandao: "I'm not greedy for extravagance, I just want to choose a few county lieutenants and facao."

Lu Lingshi's expression softened slightly: "County captain..."

Beijing officials have always looked down on foreign officials, and local county lieutenants are even more humble in their eyes, with hard work and difficulty in promotion.

Later, Du Fu couldn't pass the imperial examination, and couldn't enter the gate of the powerful. He stayed in Chang'an for ten years and still refused to be a county captain. "The verse, that is not his own concept, represents the consensus at that time.

But even so, after Lu Lingshi considered it, he was still unwilling to let go.

The internal guards have a good relationship with other departments, but they are naturally at odds with the officials.

Because the promotion of the inner guard did not pass through the official department, he was kicked away.

In fact, how many people in the world are eagerly looking forward to the selection of officials, let alone those who are waiting for promotion.

The number of positions in the inner guard will not affect the authority of the official department at all.

But for such a powerful department, if I don't care about you, it is an offense.

Lu Lingshi hoped to have friendship with Li Yan, but he didn't want to have friendship with Neiwei.

Ever since, he smiled slightly, neither refusing nor agreeing.

Li Yan also smiled slightly, turned out a book, and read it on the spot.

Lu Lingshi was taken aback: "This is?"

Li Yandao: "Ah, this is the "Yaoshan Jade Color" presented by His Royal Highness. I read it from time to time and benefit a lot."

Lu Lingshi: "..."

Mr. Xiaolang, isn't that too straightforward?
However, Li Yan's demeanor when he read the book seemed to be a little different.

That concentration is dignified, like a Confucian with a poor head and a poor book, devoting himself to the joy of reading.

In order to flatter the prince, he also worked hard.

Lu Lingshi admired him very much. After thinking about it, he finally didn't want to offend this promising little man because of such a trivial matter. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay, I'll give Lieutenant Li a title!"

……

After half an hour.

Li Yan came to the inner guard station behind Dali Temple.

Ten years ago, this place was extremely prosperous, but now it is deserted.

With Qiu Ying's return to the capital, some of his popularity has recovered, and there are handymen who keep coming in and out to clean up.

But Li Yan looked all the way, and the various government departments in the imperial city should be the most shabby of the internal guards.

But at this moment, there is a beautiful landscape in front of the door.

Qiu Shenji was wearing an official uniform, with his arms folded, his toes held high.

In terms of rewards for meritorious deeds, Qiu Shenji was finally promoted to Wu Dewei, with a rank, and put on the ninth-rank green uniform.

The speed of issuing the official robe was not so fast, it should be the clothes that the inner guard already had, and he couldn't wait to put it on.

"Hey Hey……"

Qiu Shenji walked up and down in a grand manner, his face bursting with laughter.

Li Yan looked at him from afar and felt that he was exactly like Chen Peisi in Zhu Simao's Eighth Route Army clothes in the sketch "The Protagonist and the Supporting Actor".

Not to mention that they are exactly the same in temperament, they are simply the reincarnation of Chen Xiaoer.

Stop there and play a local ruffian, a villain and a bully without makeup.

"L!"

Qiu Shenji felt that there was someone behind him, turned around, laughed, and the address returned to the original appearance of equality and intercourse.

But when he took a closer look, the green color on Li Yan's body, the smile sluggish for a moment, changed quickly, and warmly greeted him: "Liu Lang, you're back!"

Li Yan clasped his fists together: "Congratulations, brother Qiu, who has become an official!"

Qiu Shenji laughed happily, and touched the bulging money pouch at his waist: "Thank you very much, I will be the host in the afternoon, and I will go to Pingkangfang for a small celebration first, and I will hold a banquet at the house in these three days, Liu Lang must be a big guest! "

"Good! Good!"

It is a great joy in life to get rid of brown and become an official, and big banquets are the norm, but Li Yan is also worried about the level of his acquaintances.

What are you doing so directly!
Fortunately, at this moment, Qiu Ying came out and said in astonishment, "Yuan Fang?"

Li Yan nodded: "Uncle Qiu, I came here after I left Shaoyang Courtyard."

Thinking of the child rushing to work non-stop, Qiu Ying's heart tightened, and the fear from Liangzhou came to her heart.

He hastened to take care of him: "Yuan Fang, don't be too diligent in everything..."

Li Yan smiled: "Don't worry, Uncle Qiu, I know how to measure."

Whatever the environment and attitude, what he has to do now is to open up the situation in Chang'an as soon as possible and earn more achievement points.

What do you spend so much time doing at work? Fishing.

But if you want to fish in style, you must have competent subordinates.

The type of Qiu Shenji can only be released during a certain period of time. If you use it too much in normal times, your reputation will also be ruined.

So Li Yan said: "Uncle Qiu, is there a regulation for the expansion of the inner guard?"

Qiu Ying nodded lightly: "The inner guard's meritorious service has greatly reduced the resistance of the court, and we finally have sufficient manpower."

Li Yan said in a low voice: "Then we need to be the first, the inner guard won't only have Uncle Qiu as the cabinet leader, we have to strike first!"

Qiu Ying had this idea long ago, she nodded and said, "That's right!"

No matter how much Li Zhi trusted him, it was impossible for a department like the internal guard to be dominated by one person.

Then with the influx of a large number of people, factions will inevitably appear inside.

As an old inner guard, Qiu Ying would be too stupid if he didn't take advantage of the opportunity and be caught up by others.

After Li Yan finished laying the groundwork, he said, "For additional manpower, you can choose county lieutenants from various places. They have rich experience in working at the grassroots level. After a little training, they can be competent for the internal guards to solve cases and arrest criminals."

He took out the list he got from the Ministry of Officials: "For example, there is Di Facao in Bingzhou, I think he is a good person..."
